FIRST introduction to the London streets
sensued. Emerging from the Wellington
arch, the first to greet the queen were the
sconvalescent patients and Others at the st
Georges hospital, which was packed from
basement to roof, seats having been erected
for many thousands over the roof of the
hospital On reaching Plcadilly the queen
was seen to look up at the Apsley house and
as-she passed the mansions of her intimate
friends. The sons, the sOns-in-l law and
grandsons of the queen were all cheered by
the people. Frederick William, the German
crown prince, IN his white uniform, was
easily recognized by the populace, and he
was applauded by Engl1shmen as he never
has, yet been in his own country. His man

the hearts Of the crowds and bowed again
land. again. It was not until Devonshire house
was reached that the queen realized the
grand preparations that had been made to
greet,her. Here the marquis of Harrington
had a spacious gallery erected, from which
many hundreds of gaily dressed ladies
waved their handkerchiefs and cheered the
queen. Facing Deyonshire house at the Bath
hotel, another gigantic booth had been
erected, andfrom this point to Westminster
abbey every point of vantage had been
seized by contractors to fix seats On
reaching Regeat circus. where six
main streets converge, the sight was
a memorable one, the streets being all
splendsdly decorated with flowers. flags,
evergreens, etc. The procession, as viewed
from the duke of Works column. passing
down the bill from the circus to Pail Mall
east was remarkable sight The shouts
OF the people were heard from tie top of
the column as one vast roar. Many Ameri-
can ladies and gentlemen had secured seats
at palatial commercial establishment in
Waterloo place, and joined in the enthusi-

around Pail Mall east Trafalgar square was
reached, and everywhere one looked
nothing but heads were to be seen. The
crowd here was tremendons, and COM
pletely eclipsed any that has assembled at
the greatest political gatherings of recent
years.
SOME PEOPLE SUFFER
While the procession was passing through
Pail Mall, the weather having turned very
warm, three persons in that thoroughfare
were sunstruck. A number of persons
along the route were crushed into 1nsensi
bllity, and were removed to hospitals. Sew
erai policemen were overcome by heat and
taken home in ambulances The horse rid
den by the marquis OF Lorne was FESTIVE and
threw the marquis, but did not injure him.
On reaching the Thames embankment the
procession had to make a detour almost at
right angles. From the new National Lii
brary club to st Stephens club the enthu-
siasm was indescribable Men clambered
up In the trees in such number as to damage
them. All along the Thames embankment,
where not occupied by public gardens seats
and galleries had been erected IL passes
comprehension how the military and police
managed to keep a way along the Thames
embatkment open for the progress of the
queen An;hulances were busy here, more
persons being crushed and disabled along
this part of the route than any other Here,
as everywhere, the enthusiasm provoked by
the queens presence was overwhelming. On
turning into Bridge street, around ST
Stephens club, her majesty obtained full
view of the abbey and the preparations
which had been made in Parliament square

by the lofty grand stand, called St Mar

persons.
IN THE ABBEY
On the procession nearing the abbey the
troops saluted, guns were fired, the bells of
the churches rang out merry peals, and
flags were run up, the cheering being con-
tinued until the queen had passed into the
west door. After passing through the vesti-
bule, her majesty was conducted to the
grand dais under the lantern tower She
was surrounded by thirty-two members of
the royal family. The scene in the abbey
when the queen entered was dazzling Ten

discarded their wraps and revealed the full
splendor of their beauty and attire. Three

while the notabIes of the law, science, art
